Fifth-year senior tight end George Bryan is a 6-foot-5, 265-pound two-time All-ACC selection that caught 75 passes for 791 yards and nine touchdowns combined over the past two seasons.

His size and productivity alone would have NFL scouts intrigued, and when some draft gurus like Mel Kiper Jr., had Bryan rated among the better pro prospects at the tight end position, speculation began to grow about Bryan's future at NC State.
